Thank you sureshcoim!
I have raised the webform and hoping to hear from them soon.
I had contacted Canadian consulate in Sydney, Aust in the past and it took 50+ days for me to receive a response from them.
One of the forum members was in a similar situation and has suggested to send the passport and other documents to Canada. Will wait for a week and if I don't hear from CIC, I will just send it to Canada.

I guess you are based in US. Can you please post 'step 3 and step 4' from your "Ready for Visa" email?

yeah give them a call they can tell you when your letter was printed.

I called this morning because my passport was received on the 20th Nov, application approved on the 30th and then nothing since then - return tracker not activated.

She told me my letter was printed on the 29th and their SLA is 3 weeks from receiving the passport to send something out, so to call back on Wednesday if i've not heard anything.
COPR shipped yesterday and delivered today. Very fast approval of application, very slow dispatch of the letter! Thankfully delivered in time for my to travel home for Christmas next week and land when we return through Pearson.

After status approved and issued the COPR, how long time IRCC need to send back to the passports and the COPR to mail address in Canada.
